Plot
Naru Sekiya is an ordinary 14-year old girl who likes fairy tales, but is worried about her lack of other interests. She has a chance encounter with a "fairy", a foreign girl practicing dance at night. On a spur of the moment, Naru asks to join her and is introduced to the world of yosakoi dancing.
Characters
- Naru Sekiya (関谷 なる, Sekiya Naru)
- Voiced by: Reina Ueda
- A 14 year old girl who considers herself extremely average. Aside from reading fairy tales, she doesn't have many interests outside of practising kendo at home. She lacks confidence to bring herself out of her routine life, but upon encountering Hana and taking up yosakoi, she starts to change little by little. Her favorite flower is the cherry blossom.
- Hana N. Fountainstand (ハナ・N・フォンテーンスタンド, Hana Enu Fontēnsutando)
- Voiced by: Minami Tanaka
- An excitable American girl who transfers into Naru's class. Having become fascinated with yosakoi following a trip to Japan when she was young, she decided to move there and form her own yosakoi club, inviting Naru to join her. She tends to get a little over excited and sometimes dances in dangerous locations. Her favorite flower is the bluestar.
- Yaya Sasame (笹目 ヤヤ, Sasame Yaya)
- Voiced by: Kaya Okuno
- Naru's best friend whose parents work in a noodle shop. She possesses both brains and beauty, making her very popular at her school, but has messy handwriting. She initially is hesitant towards yosakoi and joins in name only, but after her dream of forming a band falls apart, she soon joins the club in earnest. Her favorite flower is the rose.
- Tami Nishimikado (西御門 多美, Nishimikado Tami)
- Voiced by: Yuka Ōtsubo
- The student council vice-president at Naru's school. As both of their fathers were acquaintances, she and Naru grew up together, with Naru regarding her as a big sister. She is quite fond of her father, often being accused of having an Electra complex, and had spent most of her time focusing on becoming a proper Japanese woman in order to please him. However, Naru soon helps her to overcome her worries and she joins the yosakoi club. Her favorite flower is the lily.
- Machi Tokiwa (常盤 真智, Tokiwa Machi)
- Voiced by: Manami Numakura
- The student council president and Tami's close friend. Whilst generally strict, she is particularly weak to sweet things, as well as Tami's general requests. Her favorite flower is the sunflower.
- Sally Tokiwa (常盤 沙里, Tokiwa Sari)
- Voiced by: Megumi Toyoguchi
- Naru, Yaya, and Hana's homeroom and English teacher and Machi's older sister, who is often nicknamed 'Sally-sensei'. She becomes the yosakoi club's advisor.
- Masaru Ōfuna (大船 勝, Ōfuna Masaru)
- Voiced by: Tsuyoshi Koyama
- A 33 year old bachelor who runs the Yosakoi Masaru shop. Despite having an appearance like a bald yakuza, he is quite friendly and eager to help those learning yosakoi.
